100 messages per day

How can we promote our business more if we can only send only 100 messages per day as per TRAI rules?

I didn't realize spam was such an issue over there already, and I'm glad to see the government step in actually, but I'd like to see a smarter ruling.

If, for example, the rule was 100 text INTERACTIONS that were INITIATED by you per day, I could understand. However I think passive systems like TEXT: blah TO: blah should be exempt because the consumer is actively perusing the information.

Another option for a passive system entirely would be to promote via QR codes, and have the QR codes take them directly to your mobile site.

Are you just not getting around the limitation via a loophole though?
